Wishaw Academy Primary School has received the UNICEF UK Rights Respecting School Gold Award – the highest honour given to schools that show a strong commitment to children’s rights. ‌

The Gold Award recognises schools that put the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child at the heart of everything they do – from planning and policies to everyday classroom life. ‌

It means pupils are learning about their rights, practising them, and helping to create a respectful and inclusive school community. ‌

The school began working with UNICEF UK in March 2022, earned its Silver Award in October 2023, and celebrated the Gold achievement at a special event in June.
